Congratulations, Pieter. I had an opportunity to test it and it has far
surpassed my expectations. Meaning, it compiles, and it works! Kudos!

Hi!
Yes, vkeybd is what I am using now. I set out to create a console
alternative that is also more stable when pressing many keys at once.
I also have a little bit of distrust for TCL scripted keyboard event
